A flex league is a recreational racquet sport competition where you play matches on your own schedule. Whether you join a box or ladder format, you choose when and where you play, and players are grouped by level to keep matches fair. Once a round begins, you can contact opponents, set up matches, and report results in the app, with rankings updating instantly.

Each Scala Sports flex league runs in seasons (rounds) lasting about 8-10 weeks. You’ll play around 5-8 matches, scheduling them whenever it works for you within the round dates. When the round ends, rankings are finalized and you can join the next one.

Download the Scala Sports app from the App Store or Google Play, then sign up with your preferred email. After verifying your email, you’ll be prompted to enter your name, location, tennis or padel club (if any), and your playing level. You can also add a profile picture.

After entering the app, search for leagues in your area or club, or use the recommendations on your 'Play' page. Select a league, tap an upcoming round, and follow the prompts to join. For doubles leagues, one partner signs up the team, and the other partner simply needs to have the Scala app downloaded and an account created. You’ll be grouped with players of similar ability when the round begins.

To ensure the most exciting matches for everyone, we use a blend of your Scala Sports rating (made at account creation) and your match history. New players are grouped with others of similar ability based on your Scala Sports rating, while returning players are placed based on previous results. Strong performance can move promote you to a higher level in the next round, keeping matches competitive, fair, and fun.

To update your personal details, open the Scala Sports app and log in. Tap your profile icon, then the settings icon in the top right, and choose Personal Information. You can edit fields where possible, and save when finished.
